Why don't more distributions have something like the AUR when it's the main reason why so many people use Arch Linux?

      What’s wrong with librewolf-bin? Would you choose the Flatpack or the bin from the AUR?

        I ended up going with librewolf-bin. The flatpak version had some issues for me because my configs are a spaghetti nightmare

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
